Yes you do. He own us absolutely nothing and could have just shut the whole things down without a single word of explanation, that it would still be right.

Whatever you think I don't really care, but I really find this kind of complain stupids, especially here. F95zone is born because of the same kind of situation. Except that, instead of complaining, one guy took his fingers out of his ass and started what is now one of the biggest, if not the biggest, adult game community.
So, you want to have access to the Alexandrian Library again one day ? I'm sure that the combined hard drives of all the selfish brats have enough data to start a decent database. Therefore, you know what you've to do...
this is absoletely true.

This site was so big and no other site had the same quality content and no adds to boot, they have absolutely the right to be upset about it. It's the equivalent of youtube shutting down with a 12 hours notice and saying good luck with the next best alternative vimeo.
That's a false comparison. He didn't give them 12 hours. He outright said he may continue with the site "indefinitely". Did you even read his post?

What is exactly the false comparison? What site are you talking about? Sad Panda (the title of this post) or e-hentai?
He terminated Sad Panda after 12 hours (I didn't have a timer so don't hold me to that)...
He said he may likely continue the site "indefinitely" - for all we know this can be a temporary thing.

Can you please explain to me why FAKKU is bad. I have this inexplicable dislike for it but I don't really know where it comes from anymore ^^
Fakku is removing comics that Fakku licensed from panda and then there's this

I can't even... He's talking about e-hentai, not sad panda. I don't think you know what sad panda is =>
Sad Panda, the de facto youtube of hentai is dead, capiche!?
Nothing compares to ex-hentai, it's where 99.999% (i'm obviously exaggerating here but really not that far from the truth) of all the drawn porn of the internet was stored -from legal drawn porn to in some countries illigal lolicon and shotacon-. You see for all you uninitiated, e-hentai would purge drawn kiddy porn, requested dmca's and some other stuff but it was a public secret that they actually didn't purge it on the site ex-hentai. You had to jump through some hoops to get access to ex-hentai but if you got access you would never go back to e-hentai. It was like going from 2 to 3 borrowed/stolen playboy magazines hidden under your matras to having access to pornhub.
I know what SadPanda is, I've used it for years. And I don't think he will end it, especially with its bounty system in place. SadPanda was a key reason why so many doujins were translated, because people were paid through the site to do so. That's why he's probably going to come back to it. Too much money left on the table.

Really?! Like Tumblr will allow NSFW content again? Dream on buddy. Btw, you still haven't replied to what exactly the false comparison was...
You're just a negative nancy! XD Why you gotta hate me for hoping?

SadPanda was the greatest hentai site in the internet, Others sites like hitomi and nhentai are good, but exhentai was the most complete, with the biggest community, the hentai world never see. This is a very sad day.:cry:

Sad day, bit like the time MangaTrader went down and brought with it a short lived dark age for the fan translated manga scene that fractured the community and left a void to be filled by a flood of crappy online reader sites and the mostly neglected private mirror site of MangaTrader's smouldering remains in the form of Madokami, and good luck getting an account for that these days for what it's worth.

Its weird, I never realized how much I instinctively check exhentai until it was gone.
Just some form of subconscious to check every few hours. Now that it's gone I feel this massive hole in my heart.
I got into that site for years since it was the only one that had an amazing library, easy as fuck search bar and hidden gems pop up there that any other site didn't have, and other sites just steal from it anyway so have lesser catalogs.

Like, fuck man...

Take what i say with a grain of salt, it's based on comments from randos over at E-H Forums and the Chans.

It seems that the fjords (EX) which hosted the lolicon/shotacon, bestiality, guru, vore, scat and some other content is still alive on the main site

The issue is that it is inaccessible/hidden like it always has been. Some people can access the content, they can access it because they created the galleries and removing the "hidden" tags from it, reveals the page back in to listing. It also seems that some people can still see those type of contents on the list (example below).

Now, this could mean many things, be it true or false, but what really matters is the fact that while EX is dead, E-H is still around and people from all over are working on archiving everything they can for the future, even IF Sad Panda returns.

To further put everyone to rest, you can see Tenboro (the admin) posts , his most recent comments indicate that he's willing to bring back EX in some way and that it's only a matter of time.
I was a member for a bit over 12 years and seeing it vanish suddenly also left me anxious, but lets stop being so angry and try and do whatever we can to help, even if it's just passing along a message, giving out alternatives, archive your favorites... all efforts to help are what really matter, not just complaining what should have been done.

I sadly was a day late to the 12hour deadline so I have to collect the left over crumbs somehow.
Currently I'm downloading 120GB of I think Exh galleries which is only a very very small part of the cake but atleast it's something.

Well, I agree that the exhentai guy doesn't owe anybody anything. But I also understand why people might be upset. What if Google someday tell everyone that they're shutting down g-mail or google drive in 12 hours. People all over the planet will lash out. People will scramble to save whatever data they've trusted to google for years.

I mean, imagine you create a park and say everyone can come and have some fun. That's good, people coming in, they're creating their own cliques, doing whatever they like in the park. Community is thriving. Then suddenly you say, guys I'm shutting down the park tomorrow, just go play somewhere else. Will you still say that those people don't have the rights to be upset? People are coming because you wanted them to come in the first place. Why should they have bothered to come to your place if you're just going to kick them out willy nilly?

Welcome to the Library of Exhentai
Since the untimely demise of Exhentai is upon us, it has been decided that it would be best to preserve the efforts of tens of thousands of uploaders by creating a somewhat cohesive archival effort, from the scraps of what has been retrieved. This is the Library of Exhentai.
Please, let's stop bickering and leaving comments about what the admin should and shouldn't have done since we can't change the past, and lets actually contribute to all these types of projects and the community in general, be it information, data you have stored, passing along a message... point is, let's contribute as much as we can to the best of our abilities.

I'm 48 years old. Do you really think that situations like this never happened to me, both on internet and IRL ? Where's this marvelous library that was selling BD/comic/hentai coming from everywhere in the world in the 90's ? Where's that amazing ftp server where we were sure to find for free all the music titles we wanted, whatever the style ? Where's this ? Where's that ?
It's just be the cycle of life. Internet lost many layers, some already dead like , other slowly dying since years, like or . And during my time on internet, I had to change so many times my e-mails provider, not counting the hundreds of really good sites I've seen closing. Just don't take things for granted and believe that they'll be here all your life.
To keep your example, if you rely only on G-mail and google drive to save your data, then it's your fault if you loose your data when they'll close, not theirs. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time, far from it, that .

Now you'll know, if you want to keep something for a long time, when not for all your life, it's at your home that you need to keep it, not at the home of someone else.
